Obama / Biden '08!
Breaking! Senator Clinton's campaign released a memo today that blatantly lies about the donations Senator Obama has received from the financial industry!
The full article
Excerpt:
In response to Senator Obama's excellent speech today on the economy and the need for a new framework for governmental regulation of the financial markets, the Clinton's campaign has issued a statement from its policy director, Neera Tanden. She says, in part, that: Senator Obama announced a series of broad, vague principles, while offering no new concrete solutions to provide Americans with greater confidence in the market or keep them in their homes. The contrast could not be clearer -- on Monday, Senator Clinton announced a detailed, specific plan to address the housing and credit crisis. On Tuesday, Senator McCain announced that he had no plan. And today, Senator Obama offered just words.In addition, the Clinton team circulated a list of what they claim are the donations Obama has received from "the top 10 issuers of subprime loans."According to the document, they claim "Obama has taken more money from the top 10 issuers of subprime loans than BOTH Senator Clinton and Senator McCain."To this claim, I have two points, the first is stylistic and the second is substantive (and where her big lie comes in).

Here's a link to a really powerful article on the futility of continuing the Iraq War, written by an American Shiite Muslim:
An American Shia perspective on the Iraq War
There are basically four power players in Iraq: the US, Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. First, let's discuss Iran. Iran's primary goals are to achieve a strong Arab, Shia ally in Iraq, and become the dominant player in the Middle East. They already have a powerful influence over Syria and the Hezbullah-controlled parts of Lebanon. Iraq though, with its vast oil wealth and majority Shia population, would provide Iran with a lasting natural ally.
